I'm also trying to buy a TV card, can anyone tell me if the 'Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 Media Centre Edition TV Tuner' card has the built in Freeview TV channels? I've looked all over and nothing actually says 'Freeview' on it, just it has 125 channels

From what I read, all tv cards will show 800 x 640 resolution, the same as your tv. Unless you get the one where you can pick up the high def signal. I have the IO digital cable , so I wanted to hook my cable box up to the comp so I can see all the high def channels.

I got a " Leadtek TV2000XP/EXPERT" a couple of years ago and love it.
Great pic qualty (full screen or a scalable window), a wireless full featured remote, FM radio, time shifting, PIP, and other features.

BTW I have discovered that even regurlar TV looks better on a computer monitor due to better "dot pitch".
I got a HD TV and to be honest with you, the pic qualty on my Leadtek TV2000XP/EXPERT is quite adaquate for what I use it for.

mostly in software. the hauppauge 150/500mce is a good model because of compatibility. the ati theater 550p probably does have the best picture because of all the hardware filtering, but its hardly any better then the hauppauges.
